The Barrier Keepers
Barrier keepers rise. Conspiracies crumble. Reality never stays broken.
What Type of Barrier Keeper are You?
Take the quiz to discover which Barrier Keeper archetype you are.
Barrier Keepers possess a variety of decision-making abilities so you abilities can change with your mood.
Artisan
You transform feeling into something tangible, making people think what logic never could. Artists don't just create for recognition—you create because silence would suffocate you. You see beauty in broken places, pain in spaces others ignore. Your gift is reshaping how the world perceives reality itself. Maybe you paint, write, design, or compose—it doesn't matter. What matters is emotional truth bleeding through your work. Your struggle? Believing your vision matters when others don't understand it yet. In chaos, you're the one preserving what makes us human, reminding everyone what we're actually fighting for.
Healer
You witness pain and actually care about mending it. Healers see emotional wounds like physical injuries—you sense what someone needs before they say it. You're the friend who knows exactly what to say when everything breaks, creating spaces where people feel genuinely seen. Your power isn't fixing everything; it's refusing to look away. You understand that presence alone transforms trauma. Your burden? Absorbing others' weight, wrestling with when compassion becomes enabling. In a fractured world, you help the wounded believe in their own capacity to stand again.
Leader
You're not the loudest in the room—you're the one who makes others want to be better alongside you. Leaders inspire through authenticity, seeing potential that others miss and bringing it to the surface. You don't issue orders; you align people around shared purpose. Your strength comes from vulnerability, from admitting you don't have all the answers. You hold groups together during collapse, transforming chaos into coordination. Your struggle? Believing you have to be strong for everyone, learning to lean on others. When everything fractures, you're the one keeping people moving forward, stitching broken things together. And remember, self-awareness is crucial in your leadership journey, making you introspective and mindful.
Scholar
You're the one researching at 3 AM, noticing inconsistencies everyone else misses. Scholars obsess over why things work, refusing comfortable lies in favor of dangerous truths. You're not always the straight-A student—you're the one questioning everything, seeing patterns in chaos, making connections that suddenly click the world into focus. Your superpower? Recognizing what others can't see. Your struggle? Analysis paralysis, overthinking every angle until you're frozen. In a world built on lies, you're the one brave enough to notice the cracks and pull the thread. Your mind is a weapon, but sometimes it's also your prison.
The vanishing at pinecrest
When twelve-year-old Sam Rivera starts at Pinecrest Middle School in April, he expects the usual challenges of being a new kid. What he doesn't expect is to discover that students have been vanishing from the school every twelve years always four at a time, always in April, always without a trace.
Aaron Mitchell, the robotics club president, is already gone. Sofia Alvarez, a talented artist, disappeared next. Now Caleb Johnson and Lily Robertson have vanished, too, following a sinister pattern that stretches back decades.
Sam's father, an archaeologist, disappeared eight months ago while researching ancient rituals in Ecuador. But when Sam finds hidden evidence linking his father's research to Pinecrest's dark history, he realizes the disappearances are no longer random. They're sacrifices part of a ritual performed by a secret society that believes they're protecting the city from an ancient evil.
With the help of three unexpected friends and a trail of clues his father left behind, Sam has just three days to uncover the truth before the ritual is completed. But the deeper he delves into Pinecrest's secrets, the more perilous his investigation becomes, with danger lurking at every turn.
Some mysteries are meant to be buried for a reason. And some people will kill to keep them that way.
As time runs out, Sam realizes that he may be the only one who can break the twelve-year cycle of terror. The responsibility weighs heavily on his young shoulders, and he must summon all his courage and wits to survive long enough to try.
The barrier Keepers: Renaissance REalms
You don't feel alone after you survive the impossible together.
Sam Rivera survived Pinecrest Middle School. So did three others, Noah, Mia, and Leila. They shouldn't have survived the ritual that summer. None of them should have walked out alive. But survival came with a cost: extraordinary abilities they didn't ask for —telekinesis, dimensional perception, impossible technology, empathic healing —powers their teenage bodies are slowly, inexplicably taking over.
Four more teenagers survived, too. Caleb, Aaron, Sofia, and Lily were rescued in the ritual's final moments, their bodies rewritten by forces they barely understand. They spent the summer training in isolation while Sam's group was scattered across Peru, California, Cambodia, and Egypt, each sent to ancient power sites. Each develops abilities independently. Each was convinced that they were alone.
Then they found each other. And everything changed.
Eight teenagers with supernatural powers and a telepathic bond that refuses to let any of them be alone discover they're more than just friends: they're anchors for each other when reality fractures. They can sense each other's thoughts across any distance. Feel each other's panic when danger strikes. Hold each other up when the weight of impossible responsibility threatens to crush them.
Their abilities should make them powerful. Instead, they feel like kids barely holding themselves together while trying to save millions of lives.
Renaissance Realms appears in Chesapeake like a fever dream —a paranormal mystery hidden between dimensions —an impossible theme park built specifically for them. Its architecture resonates with their abilities. Its energy mirrors their bond. Its purpose is to harvest their power and trigger the dimensional collapse everyone has been fighting to prevent.
Behind the park hides a 174-year-old conspiracy. The Guardians have spent centuries manipulating dimensional barriers, eliminating exceptional teenagers, and controlling humanity through calculated catastrophe. Now they want these eight. And they want them desperate.
Renaissance Realms isn't a story about eight special kids saving the world. It's about eight broken teenagers discovering that being broken together is stronger than being whole alone. It's about a paranormal mystery with genuine emotional stakes. It's about finding a family and refusing to be victims of their own story. It's about learning that the real power isn't in your supernatural abilities, it's in refusing to carry impossible things by yourself.
It's about Grandma Diane's energy: loud, confident, sure you can face anything if you're not facing it alone.
The barrier Keepers: The Green Sahara
After surviving the Pinecrest ritual and preventing dimensional collapse at Renaissance Realms, Sam, Noah, Mia, and Leila, along with their friends Caleb, Aaron, Sofia, and Lily, thought they'd finally earned a break. They had all been trained as Barrier Keepers. They had formed a unique bond as eight synchronized teenagers with a telepathic connection spanning miles and time. They even pulled off the impossible, raiding a Guardian vault in Richmond and stealing 7,600 books documenting centuries of conspiracy.
They were wrong about the break.
When Jarvis and Noah's parents help decipher the captured books, they discover Cornelius Whitmore's shocking secret: he hasn't just been hiding since the vault raid. He's been hiding in time itself—specifically, 6,800 BCE in the Green Sahara, when the world's largest desert was a lush paradise. Whitmore didn't flee to the past to escape. He went there to build something. These books, stolen from the Guardian vault, hold the key to understanding his plans and his actions.
For Leila, the discovery becomes deeply personal when genetic analysis reveals her ancestry traces to a nearly 15,000-year-old tribe from this ancient ecosystem—DNA that impossibly matches 19th-century populations. Whitmore's temporal manipulation, a power that allows him to manipulate time itself, didn't just affect the present. He rewrote Leila's entire family history, positioning himself as a god among her ancestors while systematically destabilizing the Green Sahara's dimensions to harvest power across millennia.
Whitmore murdered Leila's grandmother, Diane. Now she discovers he's been exploiting her bloodline for 15,000 years.
Armed with captured temporal technology and driven by ancestral justice, the eight teens must track Whitmore through time to confront a man who's had 8,800 years to perfect his defenses. But stopping someone who's already rewritten history once is not just a mission. It's a responsibility these teens are willing to shoulder for their families and the world.
It demands Grandma Diane's energy: loud, confident, and sure that together, they're unstoppable.
Some vendettas span millennia. This one ends in the Green Sahara.
